What are people doing this weekend?

Farmer's Market, hiking and maybe blueberrying with coworkers, massive piles of laundry.

This weekend, I'll probably be mostly cleaning. I was planning on renovating the spaceship, but that will likely have to wait.

Our kids just got invited to a backyard camp out type party this morning, so that will be on the agenda tonight.

My wife sent me this article.

Take the McCain House Tour!

I can see how he can relate to the problems of the ordinary person better than some elitist like Obama.

Make sure to check out the photos to see his Hall of Fame!

I realize that the elistist charge against Obama is not about wealth rather as a McCain campaign person said...

"In terms of who's an elitist, I think people have made a judgment that John McCain is not an arugula-eating, pointy-headed-professor type based on his life story."

Yes, god-forbid we have someone intellectual in the White House.

This right there didn't tip anybody off that the whole thing was BS?

It bugs me that the media jumped over the whole thing when there was nothing to get excited over. You have a couple of guys with a picture of something in a cooler. There was never anything there to get excited over.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Actually, it was something furry in a cooler. So obviously it was probably bigfoot.

Hah, totally.

ION, that whole text message thing was a brilliant move on Obama's part. It's all the newscasters can talk about.

That is my parents neighborhood, I could pick up 2-3 unsecured networks from their house with just a built-in antenna. My neighborhood is more paranoid, all the networks are secured. Mine is secured and MAC filtered so I fit right in.
